Last week Geo. r. Wells, President Of the
Mount Cory and S. B. Conner Of the Risdon
Iron Works arrived at Hawthorne and pro.
ceedsd Immediately to Coryville, in compa-
ny with Superintendent Ballard who met
them at the station. Mr.. Conner is the man
who has charge Of all the concentration works
Of the company which he represents, and
came up to look over the ground with the
view Of selecting the most suitable location.
After inspecting the several available sites
and making measurments necessary for cal
culations as to cost, the gentlemen returned
to San francisco on Sunday. AS soon as
they can arrive at decision, relative to the
location, work will begin on a concentrating
plant which will be run on ore from the
Mount Cory. The concentrates will bs
worked in the big mill, and there is every
indication that, while the company is moving
with great deliberation, the work which ii
to begin will be continuous. They have ;
rich mine now developed, ready to supply
ore fer long time, from what is in sight
and there is reasonable ground for the hops
that the successful operation Of the concen
traitors may induce the managers TO cree
furnaces and prepare for reducing all OH
which may be brought to WaLke

read the daily newspapers. and learn how
wide spread is heart disease, how difficult Of
detection it is 10 most people, how many and
sudden are the deaths it causes. Then read
DR.. Flint's Treatise on Heart Disease, and
learn what it is, what causes it, what disease
it gives rise to, what its symptoms are, and
how it may be attacked. If you find that
you have heart disease, ask your druggist

Fer Irrigation and Other Purposes.

Fer Irrigation and Other Purposes.
Throughout the Eastern and Western States
windmills are commonly in use, not 50 much
for irrigating purposes, but for the convent.
ence OF having water on the premises and
also for draining swamp lands, etc. On
this coast, particularly in this State, wind.
mills are rare things. However, we prophe-
sy that before many more years pass BY the
greater number Of ranchers living in that
section Of the country on this coast where
water is scarce and irrigation necessary, will
have windmills. In State like Nevada we
believe that every rancher should have a
windmill. Even If his facilities for irriga.
ton are good, and he has plenty Of water
without pumping it, there are other purposes
for which he can use a mill. 1t would be
much handler to have a good large tank full
OF water on ranch in case of fire than to have
to depend on bucket brigade; it would al
SO be much nicer to have the water running
through the kitchen in pipes, than to have to
pack it in buckets and then pack it out again.
Probably dozen other reasons could be
mentioned why windmill would be handy
piece Of machinery for the rancher to have.
Through the farming portions Of this
county it has been demonstrated that water
can be found in good quantities at anywhere
from 4 to 40 feet below the surface. This
being the case it would be an easy matter,
with the assistance of one, two or three good
windmills. to irrigate quite large tract oil
land. Ii has been estimated that it will
take $1,000 gallons Of water to irrigate an
acre Of land one inch deep. With a mill
turning 80 times per minute and pump 8
inches in diameter and with an eight inch
stroke, 3,i32 gallons of water could be raised
in one hour. OF course if there was wind
enough to make the mill travel faster great.
er quantity Of water could be raised in an
hour. However this may be, it can be seen
that two or three mills would irrigate quite
tract Of country every twenty. -four hours
In case Of dry season, when it is impossi.
BILE to get water, then mill would indeed
come into good service. We believe that
the ranchers of this county should give this
matter their attention, for, without a doubt,
few dollars expended in such an experiment
would prove profitable investment.

The Art Of Falling.

A party of bicyclists were travelling
along the macadamized road beyond
Carondelet, when they met funeral
procession. They separated, some
going on one and some on the other
side of the hearse. The horses became
frightened and SHE'D to one side. In
so doing the pole of the hearse swung
into the bicycle of a rider, and, lifting
machine and rider, carried them against
a fence at the side of the road to which
the horses had run. The bicyclist was
not injured, nor was his machine broken.
However, must say that bicycle riders
are very seldom hurt, although they
sometimes have hard falls. They seem
to learn how to fall, after having taken,
few headers, so as to light on the
ground easily. After man has fallen
once or twice he learns how to gather
himself before he reaches landing

In Spain the butchers must needs have a

down to a ring by means of a strong rope
secured around the horns. The operator
takes his stand at the head of the animal
and with one downward plunge of his
heavy broad bladed knife he sewers the
spinal cord and kills the animal instantly.

several blows of the ak to knock steer off
his feet, and it has often happened at the
abattoir that il was necessary to almost beat
a steers brains out before il fell As soon
as a beef has been knocked down it is
dragged out OF the cage. from under the
feet of its companions, and its throat is
cut and the dressing is done with dispatch,
if not neatness.
The chief end of the use OF the hammer
is to destroy sensibility and to make death,
as far as possible, devoid of suffering.
The implement mostly used in America is
the poll-ax, by which the animal is stunned
and knocked down; but in places where a
large number of beevesare killed every day,
as in some of the beef butcbering estab-
lishments of Chicago, they are shot down.
They are driven into long row of single
stalls, and man armed with repeating
rifle walks along a gangway and shoots
them in the head. So expert have these
men become that second shot is seldom
necessary. In Boston and other parts of
Massachusetts, the rifle is also used.
In London, England, the poll-ax is used.
II is a hammer-like affair. and the strong
armed butcher drives the poll through the
skull into the brain, producing almost in
slant insensibility. Some of the butchers
there strike the bullock on the back of the

In one instance walking was easier
than spelling, if the following, from
the Philadelphia Rfcord, is fact:
President Lincoln's Commissioner of
Agriculture, Newton, of Philadelphia,
is the peg on which all bad-spellirg
stories ale hung in Washington. He
wrote English as she's spoke, without
regard to the arbitrary rules of orthog-
raphy, and the result was often very
amusing. One day Gen. Sickles, then
lying in a hospital here badly wounded,
craved fruits, grapes particularly. A
friend, not being able to find them else
where, went down to the Department
of Agriculture and asked Commits
sioner Newton for some.

ton: I'D give them to you in minute
for Gen. Sickles If / had, but I'll give
you anything else we've got.
well, SAID the friend, "what other
fruit have you got?"
why" said Newton, Il think we
have some nectarines, and you're well
come to some of them"
"They will do very WE'LL" said the
friend. lust write me an order to the
gardener for some, will you?"
Newton said he would, drew q sheet
of paper toward him and began to
write. The date-iine was all right, for
that was printed; but after that his
trouble began. "Give bearer" he
wrote, "as many =" and then he

are the Israelitish and the ordinary methods.

by the orthodox Hebrews is called kosher"
and the killing of il is done according to a
Jewish religious rite, the method employed
being according to the Mosaic law. There
are a number of private slaughter houses
throughout the city conducted by the He

killed mt the abattoir.
The Hebrew butchers do not kill their
cattle themselves, as the rule of their faith is
that it must be killed by "schochet," who
is appointed by the rabbi after a regular
course of instruction and an examination.
His instrument is long -bladed knife,
called in Hebrew cholif, the blade being
of pure steel, without a flaw. The steer to
be slaughtered is drawn in up to the kill

which leaves no nail-holes, is made
with point at each end and with an
